You do know that 2014 CLYWs are Pyramatted before the Gruntbull finish, right? But what do you mean by horizontal finger grind? Like a fingerspin?

If your fingerspin is on a fingernail, it won’t matter. They both have low friction in that regard.

Gruntbull’s blast is superior to pyramatte… I really don’t dig pyramatte all that much despite LOVING One Drop overall. But for a horizontal fingerspin on a fingernail? Doesn’t matter. Your more important consideration is the yoyo itself and if it’s suitable for that style of play. Doesn’t strike me that either company has a particularly stellar fingerspin yoyo.

^ This. Most Onedrops come with side effects so aren’t exactly adapted for finger spins, and most CLYW either have a hub nipple or concave cup area so aren’t particularly suited either.

If you want a fingerspin specific yoyo, there are better choices out there. Yoyofactory Horizon for example. 🙂
